  1. Definitely a team loss. All three phases of the game were coached and put in a position to win and could have probably done so had any one of the team units executed on just one more play. Not each, just one play amongst them. Throw in the two obvious blown calls (safety and k Robinson faskmask) and refs got in on the action too. Sark's failure to call a to before the chip shot miss just before half also pics up the coaching blame as well without considering any other more subtle errors. All in all there were 5 plays that were a combination of easy ref calls that were not made or simply completing a perfectly set up play to it's seemingly routine and inevitable conclusion that resulted in a net point differential of 15 points. Bama had theirs too, but they were more of the garden variety where the poor execution had more than one factor involved and Texas had enough of those too, to balance that out. When Bama had the perfect opportunities, they executed and that was the difference, Ref fuckery aside.
  2. From Oak Hill, sipping coffee and construction dust.... FIGHT!!!!! OR TEXAS!!!!
  3. Nobody talks about cutting your hair when it's awesome.
  4. Imagine what it will be like with a full 5 working days or after a loss (ducks).
  5. I posted up my Wally Pryor CSB on the Bill Little thread a couple of weeks ago, but I just thought of another Wally gem that has not been mentioned. Fall of 1988 early November game against U of H fighting run and shoot cougars. Houston was blowing our doors off and the final score was something like U H 66 Texas 13. Late in the game the crowd was mostly gone and Houston had just scored another touchdown on our hapless D. Houston trots out for the PAT...and Wall's words: " ..and it's.....bueno"
  6. Soon to be "city approved watering hour."
  7. 96 is a pipe dream. 85 is unicorns and pixie dust.
  8. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm at the office working on 2022 corporate tax stuff...and I'm a concrete contractor. My admin keeps forgetting to put batteries in the thermostat, so when I got here it was 85 on the office. There is enough juice on the batteries to manually set the temp, but it always defaults back to 85. I spent the first hour here setting up a fan, reading Surly, and drinking beer from the office fridge. Just too hot to concentrate on tax stuff. Just wrapping up now and business partner is heading over for a cold one. I should jack up the temperature and pretend I was toughing it out in the heat, but the empties might lessen the effect. Did get a nice bike ride in this morning tho. Worked yesterday too. Not sure what you need a firewood rack for. It's never going to be cold again anyway. But you do you.
  9. Seeing a few sub 100 days in Austin starting a week from tomorrow. No rain. That's all I got. Hopefully that forecast holds and we won't get 105+ on those days as is often the case.
  10. Jesus!!!
  11. We just Bleu ourselves.
  12. ...and poor execution on that bone headed play.
  13. Hard to see how, it happens in every sport in every game.
  14. Sark getting his white threads in before Labor Day.
  15. From the dust and dry grass of Oak Hill... TEXAS!!!!! ..and I for one, welcome our new asshole overlords.
  16. Who said anything about poaching. One barbed wire fence looks just like the next. We were just rural country folk.
  17. We had access but not permission.
  18. Just hit rock and embed piers the required depth. As I said 80' in that location would be more than enough for any high rise we have now as long as there is no subterranean parking, which would obviously not happen given the overlap with buried freeway.
  19. My mom shot an 11 point buck right where the loop 1 tool plaza sits. Circa 1975. Good times except when my folks brought the deer back to our house and field dressed it over my kiddie pool. Not swimming in that again.
  20. Austin resident since 1967 here. Austin has always been about finding those hidden gems that are unique to this city., but the same could be said of any city. In old Austin, they were not that hard to find and despite their popularity, we're not that well attended. In true Austin form, by the time something got popular, the trend setters had already moved on, leaving the rest of to enjoy there work before business failure or what we would have considered overpopulation and saturation. These types of places and events began to drastically drop off 2 or three years before the pandemic, which is when I would consider the time old Austin died. Not coincidentally, that is when Austin real estate started to become truly unaffordable. All the signs were there even in the early 90's when I noticed that the core of the city no longer catered to the student and governmental emoyee populations from a leisure standpoint, as prices had become more in line with Houston or Dallas. These days, if you want and old Austin feel, I would recommend San Antonio, but their time is limited as well. Austin still has pockets and activities with that old Austin feel, but they are soon discovered and turned into phantasmagoric events soon ruined by lack of intimacy and bad parking options. It's almost not even worth looking anymore.
  21. It does sound cheap, but UT taking the initiative and some of the costs will ensure some build able land. It would not surprise me me if they drill 80' 5' diameter piers at 10' on center for all area that are not highway and build around that.
  22. Those detectorists are some interesting people. I ran into one on PINS after a fishing tournament down there when we were headed off the beach. He was was way down about the 48 mm. We stopped to check out his 15' bamboo surf rods that je deployed. The old man had a Spanish real on a necklace. Said he had found three from the 1550 wrecks at the 58, 59, and 60. According to Texas law, detecting is not even allowed on PINS, but if you do find something, you are supposed to turn it iver to the state antiquities board. Old man did not give a fuck and was terminal with cancer. Stopped for about an hour and gave him some beer. Tons of stories...and apparently Mel Fisher is a wanker.
  23. I will second: Endeavor. Good stories with with 60s and 70s nostalgia thrown in. Spot on. Unforgotten. Complex weave of cold cases and more complex than you average detective shows. Line of Duty. Modern set with corruption thread weaving through all seasons. White Chappell. Cheesieier than the above, but shorter. Easy to watch and good characters and sets. Good material too, would not be surprised at a reboot. All on Prime.
  24. The only "Sufferfest" I am familiar with was a Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour short featuring Cedar Wright and some other climber I didn’t know. They would bike all night to their next destination (50+ miles ish)and climb some nasty 5 to 6 pitch walls all day and then do it again the next day/night. It's some ridiculous amount of time like 60 or 90 days straight. I guess you can't do that indoors though unless the Suadis have some multi pitch indoor gym or something.
  25. The more you know...
